摘要: The introduction of high-resolution time lapse imaging and molecular biological tools has changed dramatically the rate progress towards understanding complex structure-function relations in synapses central spiny neurons. Standing issues, including sequence structural processes leading to formation, morphological change, longevity dendritic spines, as well functions spines neurological/psychiatric diseases are being addressed a growing number recent studies. There still unsettled issues with respect spine formation plasticity: Are formed first, followed by synapse or emergence spine? What immediate long-lasting changes properties following exposure plasticity-producing stimulation? Is volume/shape indicative its function? These other this review, which highlights complexity pathways involved regulation structure function, contributes synaptic interactions health disease.
